Neurocasat was established from the merger of two teams: Gambit and Polygoncast. By supplementing our competencies, we created a new group that started working in the video industry. Polygoncast had a p2p video streaming product, and we contributed to the Kiwari framework and design-driven approach. Thanks to this merger, it was possible to build a product that was to change the video industry's future.

Neurocast

Intro

We started Neurocast to test our technology (Multi Transport Technology) created with the Polygoncast team during the KIWARI framework implementation (Gambit foundation framework).The task was to design a multi-channel video player for private users. The scope of the work was undefined. The only requirements were to emphasize the advantage of technology over existing solutions.What can be summed up as a general brief - "it has to be different, but the same."
The Nuerocast prototype gained new business opportunities during the NAB conference in Las Vegas in 2017 and established cooperation with OTOY and Facebook.

Broadcast Management

The freedom of shaping media message is limited to the materials provided by the broadcaster. Broadcaster, for reasons of technological limitations, most often transmits video from a single source. For larger transmissions, such as sporting events, it is necessary to have a car transmission and director working in the operating room.

Contesting broadcast status quo

Unicast - is characterized by the fact that the receiver sends a query to the sender's server, verifying the client and sending the appropriate content. This happens continuously and individually for a single receiver. As a result, 1,000 connections are made with 1,000 clients, leading to a heavy load on the server.

Multicast - on the other hand, allows reducing the transfer because, through one connection, it sends information to all recipients but loses the possibility of transfer on demand - everyone who is connected to the server has access to the same data.

Neurocast

The best of both worlds. The technology allows you to create rich content broadcast on principles like P2P. More than this enables you to keep control over the display of content to the user.

Features

Rich content media

The player with the possibility of embedding video content within the material, e.g., change cameras

INFINITY ZOOM

The only limitation to the zoom is the video material provided.

MTT

Kiwari allowed using a variety of video transmission technology, which adjusts depending on-demand streaming.

12K-360°-Ready

Based on the Facebook solution with 360 videos, Neurocast allows you to stream 360 ° materials in 12K quality.

Summary

Working on Neurocast was quite an adventure. I learned a lot about the streaming industry and its flaws - unfortunately. This journey gave me an opportunity in a completely new field, and it was exciting. We tried to push the video to another level with the team, but instead, we end up working with Radio On Internet.

yup...

Coincidently happened that we were looking for new business opportunities or investors, and we started a collaboration with Facebook.
This event leads us to a partnership with the co-founder of Otoy at a set of Silicon Valley.
